126 million Americans saw Russia's ads says Facebook

Looking for Trump involvement here. Not seeing it.
Otherwise Russian meddling is a major concern. Obama should have jumped on it as soon as he became aware, but as we know, he responds to threats to the democratic party but not to threats to the country. He thought Hillary was still safe. Then when she lost, he suddenly became outraged at Russian meddling and tossed some ruskies out. Yep, that;s Barry.
I feel so dumb now. I was actually going to vote for Hillary in 2016, but I saw an ad on facebook and I changed my mind. I said "Well if Trump is putting ads on facebook, I'm definitely voting for him!" Now I find out that it was actually RUSSIA placing those ads. Man, facebook ads are SOOOO powerful.
It's not about changing the vote, it's about depressing the vote which is why Russians specifically targeted BernieBros by pushing fake news. You would have never voted for Clinton but a lot of super lefties would have if not for TRUMP IS SO ANTI ESTABLISHMENT AND LOVES GAYS AND WEED which was all over the net during election cycle.
Money raised by or for campaigns:
Hillary - $1,400,000,000
Trump - $ 956,600,000
Money spent for facebook ads by Russian Internet Research Agency:
$100,000
Yep, the $100,000 for facebook ads clearly changed the outcome of the election.

Who told you that's the only money Russians spent on FB ads or overall? Last report said 200 million and Russia could do things a legal campaign couldn't (like running fake news operations)
Half a million views in two months, how is it possible, it's only one person!
Face it, gullible idiots will believe any conspiracy fed to them and will spread it like wildfire.

Did you read the article in the OP?
I don't think you understand how this works, Russians paid and are still paying their online trolls, a 100 grand in FB spending goes a long way when they multiply it with their troll farms which is what CNN is reporting.
"But the full, organic reach of content posted by the troll farm-linked pages was more than 10 times higher."
Russian government paid for that manpower, those costs are much higher than 100 thousand.
See for yourself how it works
